80/35 Festival Reveals Lineup & Lagunitas

In this article:

The lineup for this year’s 80/35 music festival has been revealed. For its eighth incarnation, the Midwestern festy has Wilco, Jenny Lewis, Weezer, Run the Jewels and more on tap. (Check below for the full list of confirmed artists thus far.) The California-based Lagunitas brewing company will also make a major appearance at 80/35, providing attendees with nine Lagunitas-brewed beers currently unavailable in Iowa in the “Lagunitas Couchtrippin L0unge.”

The 80/35 festival began nearly a decade ago, when the non-profit Des Moines Music Coalition was founded in order to bring life back to the city and stimulate the local economy. Four years later, they were booking The Flaming Lips and The Roots to headline their first ever festival. Since that time, nearly 35,000 fans make the trek to Western Gateway Park each year to enjoy the “fantastic musical odyssey for brave space rangers ready to explore the supersonic frontier.” Or as we earthlings like to call it, a weekend of partying.
